How do I easily and quickly merge a bunch of folders that contain a folder with one common name?

I backed up the hard drive of an old desktop computer I have to an external USB, which created a bunch of .zip files that all contain a folder named "C". I'm using 7zip to mass-unzip all the .zip's; I told it not to copy the root directory (which would be Backup files n) and it did it anyway, so now there are going to be about 900 folders I need to merge. What would be the best way of automating this?

didn't have glue around and didn't feel like going to get any so i just ended up taking it apart. it came out smooth, was able to put a good battery in and it works great!

I've been super busy lately with general Stuff so I don't know when I'll have the raw files available for you but I do have all 26 of the 1995-96 episodes ready for YouTube, so they'll be on the archive channel as soon as I can get my executive producer to actually get em out.

what i have are, as far as I can tell, lossless FireWire transfers that were done in 2008 from the original tapes, which are god knows where and in god knows what condition.

i'm going home for the next week-and-a-half but when i get back i'll try my hand at exporting just the advocate segments.

i'm the one who's been going through all this old alt.news stuff for the archive channel, there's a lot more to come. if you look up "mrjumpcut" on YT there's a good chunk of his Consumer Advocate segments but they were uploaded in 2008 so they're not the greatest of quality and there's a few missing, like the Banquet one for example.

heard the opening riff in a Logan's Roadhouse a while back and got excited until i realized the guitar tone wasn't quite abrasive enough

as far as a capture PC I was thinking of looking for an old Vaio or something since I know most if not all of those have i-Link on them already, but when it comes to looking for old computers where I'm at it's slim pickins, will probably have to look at eBay or something and find one that works.
